Merge tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Some big changes this month, headlined by the addition of a new formatted documentation mechanism based on the Sphinx system. The objectives here are to make it easier to create better-integrated (and more attractive) documents while (eventually) dumping our one-of-a-kind, cobbled-together system for something that is widely used and maintained by others. There's a fair amount of information what's being done, why, and how to use it in: https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/ https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/ Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how it works. For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some significant media conversion work as well. Once all the docs have been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go away. Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab. Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable. That file may be a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that situation to last for any real length of time. Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks, updates, and typo fixes" * tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (77 commits) doc-rst: kernel-doc: fix handling of address_space tags Revert "doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings" doc-rst: kernel-doc directive, fix state machine reporter docs: deprecate kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings Documentation: add watermark_scale_factor to the list of vm systcl file kernel-doc: Fix up warning output docs: Get rid of some kernel-documentation warnings doc-rst: add an option to ignore DocBooks when generating docs workqueue: Fix a typo in workqueue.txt Doc: ocfs: Fix typo in filesystems/ocfs2-online-filecheck.txt Documentation/sphinx: skip build if user requested specific DOCBOOKS Documentation: add cleanmediadocs to the documentation targets Add .pyc files to .gitignore Doc: PM: Fix a typo in intel_powerclamp.txt doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementation Documentation: add meta-documentation for Sphinx and kernel-doc Documentation: tiny typo fix in usb/gadget_multi.txt Documentation: fix wrong value in md.txt bcache: documentation formatting, edited for clarity, stripe alignment notes ...

130−TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE:
136+
137+HOWTO/COOKBOOK
138+--------------
139+
140+A) Starting a bcache with a missing caching device
141+
142+If registering the backing device doesn't help, it's already there, you just need
143+to force it to run without the cache:
144+ host:~# echo /dev/sdb1 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
145+ [ 119.844831] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/sdb1: device already registered
146+
147+Next, you try to register your caching device if it's present. However
148+if it's absent, or registration fails for some reason, you can still
149+start your bcache without its cache, like so:
150+ host:/sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache# echo 1 > running
151+
152+Note that this may cause data loss if you were running in writeback mode.
153+
154+
155+B) Bcache does not find its cache
156+
157+ host:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8 > attach
158+ [ 1933.455082] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Couldn't find uuid for md5 in set
159+ [ 1933.478179] bcache: __cached_dev_store() Can't attach 0226553a-37cf-41d5-b3ce-8b1e944543a8
160+ [ 1933.478179] : cache set not found
161+
162+In this case, the caching device was simply not registered at boot
163+or disappeared and came back, and needs to be (re-)registered:
164+ host:/sys/block/md5/bcache# echo /dev/sdh2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
165+
166+
167+C) Corrupt bcache crashes the kernel at device registration time:
168+
169+This should never happen. If it does happen, then you have found a bug!
170+Please report it to the bcache development list: linux-bcache@vger.kernel.org
171+
172+Be sure to provide as much information that you can including kernel dmesg
173+output if available so that we may assist.
174+
175+
176+D) Recovering data without bcache:
177+
178+If bcache is not available in the kernel, a filesystem on the backing
179+device is still available at an 8KiB offset. So either via a loopdev
180+of the backing device created with --offset 8K, or any value defined by
181+--data-offset when you originally formatted bcache with `make-bcache`.
182+
183+For example:
184+ losetup -o 8192 /dev/loop0 /dev/your_bcache_backing_dev
185+
186+This should present your unmodified backing device data in /dev/loop0
187+
188+If your cache is in writethrough mode, then you can safely discard the
189+cache device without loosing data.
190+
191+
192+E) Wiping a cache device

197+
198+After you boot back with bcache enabled, you recreate the cache and attach it:

234+
235+Now we can wipe it:
236+ host:~# wipefs -a /dev/nvme0n1p4
237+ /dev/nvme0n1p4: 16 bytes were erased at offset 0x00001018 (bcache): c6 85 73 f6 4e 1a 45 ca 82 65 f5 7f 48 ba 6d 81
238+
239+
240+G) dm-crypt and bcache
241+
242+First setup bcache unencrypted and then install dmcrypt on top of
243+/dev/bcache<N> This will work faster than if you dmcrypt both the backing
244+and caching devices and then install bcache on top. [benchmarks?]
245+
246+
247+H) Stop/free a registered bcache to wipe and/or recreate it
248+
249+Suppose that you need to free up all bcache references so that you can
250+fdisk run and re-register a changed partition table, which won't work
251+if there are any active backing or caching devices left on it:
252+
253+1) Is it present in /dev/bcache* ? (there are times where it won't be)
254+
255+If so, it's easy:
256+ host:/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# echo 1 > stop
257+
258+2) But if your backing device is gone, this won't work:
259+ host:/sys/block/bcache0# cd bcache
260+ bash: cd: bcache: No such file or directory
261+
262+In this case, you may have to unregister the dmcrypt block device that
263+references this bcache to free it up:
264+ host:~# dmsetup remove oldds1
265+ bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped
266+ bcache: cache_set_free() Cache set 5bc072a8-ab17-446d-9744-e247949913c1 unregistered
267+
268+This causes the backing bcache to be removed from /sys/fs/bcache and
269+then it can be reused. This would be true of any block device stacking
270+where bcache is a lower device.
271+
272+3) In other cases, you can also look in /sys/fs/bcache/:
273+
274+host:/sys/fs/bcache# ls -l */{cache?,bdev?}

288+TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE
289+---------------------------
131290
132291 Bcache has a bunch of config options and tunables. The defaults are intended to
133292 be reasonable for typical desktop and server workloads, but they're not what you
134293 want for getting the best possible numbers when benchmarking.
135294
295+ - Backing device alignment
296+
297+ The default metadata size in bcache is 8k. If your backing device is
298+ RAID based, then be sure to align this by a multiple of your stride
299+ width using `make-bcache --data-offset`. If you intend to expand your
300+ disk array in the future, then multiply a series of primes by your
301+ raid stripe size to get the disk multiples that you would like.
302+
303+ For example: If you have a 64k stripe size, then the following offset
304+ would provide alignment for many common RAID5 data spindle counts:
305+ 64k * 2*2*2*3*3*5*7 bytes = 161280k
306+
307+ That space is wasted, but for only 157.5MB you can grow your RAID 5
308+ volume to the following data-spindle counts without re-aligning:
309+ 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,14,15,18,20,21 ...

2+Linux Kernel Documentation
3+==========================
4+
5+Introduction
6+============
7+
8+The Linux kernel uses `Sphinx`_ to generate pretty documentation from
9+`reStructuredText`_ files under ``Documentation``. To build the documentation in
10+HTML or PDF formats, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The generated
11+documentation is placed in ``Documentation/output``.
12+
13+.. _Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/
14+.. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
15+
16+The reStructuredText files may contain directives to include structured
17+documentation comments, or kernel-doc comments, from source files. Usually these
18+are used to describe the functions and types and design of the code. The
19+kernel-doc comments have some special structure and formatting, but beyond that
20+they are also treated as reStructuredText.
21+
22+There is also the deprecated DocBook toolchain to generate documentation from
23+DocBook XML template files under ``Documentation/DocBook``. The DocBook files
24+are to be converted to reStructuredText, and the toolchain is slated to be
25+removed.
26+
27+Finally, there are thousands of plain text documentation files scattered around
28+``Documentation``. Some of these will likely be converted to reStructuredText
29+over time, but the bulk of them will remain in plain text.
30+
31+Sphinx Build
32+============
33+
34+The usual way to generate the documentation is to run ``make htmldocs`` or
35+``make pdfdocs``. There are also other formats available, see the documentation
36+section of ``make help``. The generated documentation is placed in
37+format-specific subdirectories under ``Documentation/output``.
38+
39+To generate documentation, Sphinx (``sphinx-build``) must obviously be
40+installed. For prettier HTML output, the Read the Docs Sphinx theme
41+(``sphinx_rtd_theme``) is used if available. For PDF output, ``rst2pdf`` is also
42+needed. All of these are widely available and packaged in distributions.
43+
44+To pass extra options to Sphinx, you can use the ``SPHINXOPTS`` make
45+variable. For example, use ``make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs`` to get more verbose
46+output.
47+
48+To remove the generated documentation, run ``make cleandocs``.
49+
50+Writing Documentation
51+=====================
52+
53+Adding new documentation can be as simple as:
54+
55+1. Add a new ``.rst`` file somewhere under ``Documentation``.
56+2. Refer to it from the Sphinx main `TOC tree`_ in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
57+
58+.. _TOC tree: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
59+
60+This is usually good enough for simple documentation (like the one you're
61+reading right now), but for larger documents it may be advisable to create a
62+subdirectory (or use an existing one). For example, the graphics subsystem
63+documentation is under ``Documentation/gpu``, split to several ``.rst`` files,
64+and has a separate ``index.rst`` (with a ``toctree`` of its own) referenced from
65+the main index.
66+
67+See the documentation for `Sphinx`_ and `reStructuredText`_ on what you can do
68+with them. In particular, the Sphinx `reStructuredText Primer`_ is a good place
69+to get started with reStructuredText. There are also some `Sphinx specific
70+markup constructs`_.
71+
72+.. _reStructuredText Primer: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html
73+.. _Sphinx specific markup constructs: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/index.html
74+
75+Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation
76+------------------------------------------------
77+
78+Here are some specific guidelines for the kernel documentation:
79+
80+* Please don't go overboard with reStructuredText markup. Keep it simple.
81+
82+* Please stick to this order of heading adornments:
83+
84+ 1. ``=`` with overline for document title::
85+
86+ ==============
87+ Document title
88+ ==============
89+
90+ 2. ``=`` for chapters::
91+
92+ Chapters
93+ ========
94+
95+ 3. ``-`` for sections::
96+
97+ Section
98+ -------
99+
100+ 4. ``~`` for subsections::
101+
102+ Subsection
103+ ~~~~~~~~~~
104+
105+ Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than imposing a fixed
106+ number and order of section title adornment styles, the order enforced will be
107+ the order as encountered."), having the higher levels the same overall makes
108+ it easier to follow the documents.
109+
110+list tables
111+-----------
112+
113+We recommend the use of *list table* formats. The *list table* formats are
114+double-stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they might not be as
115+comfortable for
116+readers of the text files. Their advantage is that they are easy to
117+create or modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningful,
118+because it is limited to the modified content.
119+
120+The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
121+some additional features:
122+
123+* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
124+ additional columns
125+
126+* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
127+ additional rows
128+
129+* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
130+ side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
131+ changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automatically inserts (empty)
132+ cells instead of spanning the last cell.
133+
134+options:
135+
136+* ``:header-rows:`` [int] count of header rows
137+* ``:stub-columns:`` [int] count of stub columns
138+* ``:widths:`` [[int] [int] ... ] widths of columns
139+* ``:fill-cells:`` instead of auto-spanning missing cells, insert missing cells
140+
141+roles:
142+
143+* ``:cspan:`` [int] additional columns (*morecols*)
144+* ``:rspan:`` [int] additional rows (*morerows*)
145+
146+The example below shows how to use this markup. The first level of the staged
147+list is the *table-row*. In the *table-row* there is only one markup allowed,
148+the list of the cells in this *table-row*. Exceptions are *comments* ( ``..`` )
149+and *targets* (e.g. a ref to ``:ref:`last row <last row>``` / :ref:`last row
150+<last row>`).

195+
196+
197+Including kernel-doc comments
198+=============================
199+
200+The Linux kernel source files may contain structured documentation comments, or
201+kernel-doc comments to describe the functions and types and design of the
202+code. The documentation comments may be included to any of the reStructuredText
203+documents using a dedicated kernel-doc Sphinx directive extension.
204+
205+The kernel-doc directive is of the format::
206+
207+ .. kernel-doc:: source
208+ :option:
209+
210+The *source* is the path to a source file, relative to the kernel source
211+tree. The following directive options are supported:
212+
213+export: *[source-pattern ...]*
214+ Include documentation for all functions in *source* that have been exported
215+ using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` either in *source* or in any
216+ of the files specified by *source-pattern*.
217+
218+ The *source-pattern* is useful when the kernel-doc comments have been placed
219+ in header files, while ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` and ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` are next to
220+ the function definitions.
221+
222+ Examples::
223+
224+ .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c
225+ :export:
226+
227+ .. kernel-doc:: include/net/mac80211.h
228+ :export: net/mac80211/*.c
229+
230+internal: *[source-pattern ...]*
231+ Include documentation for all functions and types in *source* that have
232+ **not** been exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL`` either
233+ in *source* or in any of the files specified by *source-pattern*.
234+
235+ Example::
236+
237+ .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c
238+ :internal:
239+
240+doc: *title*
241+ Include documentation for the ``DOC:`` paragraph identified by *title* in
242+ *source*. Spaces are allowed in *title*; do not quote the *title*. The *title*
243+ is only used as an identifier for the paragraph, and is not included in the
244+ output. Please make sure to have an appropriate heading in the enclosing
245+ reStructuredText document.
246+
247+ Example::
248+
249+ .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_audio.c
250+ :doc: High Definition Audio over HDMI and Display Port
251+
252+functions: *function* *[...]*
253+ Include documentation for each *function* in *source*.
254+
255+ Example::
256+
257+ .. kernel-doc:: lib/bitmap.c
258+ :functions: bitmap_parselist bitmap_parselist_user
259+
260+Without options, the kernel-doc directive includes all documentation comments
261+from the source file.
262+
263+The kernel-doc extension is included in the kernel source tree, at
264+``Documentation/sphinx/kernel-doc.py``. Internally, it uses the
265+``scripts/kernel-doc`` script to extract the documentation comments from the
266+source.
267+
268+Writing kernel-doc comments
269+===========================
270+
271+In order to provide embedded, "C" friendly, easy to maintain, but consistent and
272+extractable overview, function and type documentation, the Linux kernel has
273+adopted a consistent style for documentation comments. The format for this
274+documentation is called the kernel-doc format, described below. This style
275+embeds the documentation within the source files, using a few simple conventions
276+for adding documentation paragraphs and documenting functions and their
277+parameters, structures and unions and their members, enumerations, and typedefs.
278+
279+.. note:: The kernel-doc format is deceptively similar to gtk-doc or Doxygen,
280+ yet distinctively different, for historical reasons. The kernel source
281+ contains tens of thousands of kernel-doc comments. Please stick to the style
282+ described here.
283+
284+The ``scripts/kernel-doc`` script is used by the Sphinx kernel-doc extension in
285+the documentation build to extract this embedded documentation into the various
286+HTML, PDF, and other format documents.
287+
288+In order to provide good documentation of kernel functions and data structures,
289+please use the following conventions to format your kernel-doc comments in the
290+Linux kernel source.
291+
292+How to format kernel-doc comments
293+---------------------------------
294+
295+The opening comment mark ``/**`` is reserved for kernel-doc comments. Only
296+comments so marked will be considered by the ``kernel-doc`` tool. Use it only
297+for comment blocks that contain kernel-doc formatted comments. The usual ``*/``
298+should be used as the closing comment marker. The lines in between should be
299+prefixed by `` * `` (space star space).
300+
301+The function and type kernel-doc comments should be placed just before the
302+function or type being described. The overview kernel-doc comments may be freely
303+placed at the top indentation level.
304+
305+Example kernel-doc function comment::
306+
307+ /**
308+ * foobar() - Brief description of foobar.
309+ * @arg: Description of argument of foobar.
310+ *
311+ * Longer description of foobar.
312+ *
313+ * Return: Description of return value of foobar.
314+ */
315+ int foobar(int arg)
316+
317+The format is similar for documentation for structures, enums, paragraphs,
318+etc. See the sections below for details.
319+
320+The kernel-doc structure is extracted from the comments, and proper `Sphinx C
321+Domain`_ function and type descriptions with anchors are generated for them. The
322+descriptions are filtered for special kernel-doc highlights and
323+cross-references. See below for details.
324+
325+.. _Sphinx C Domain: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/domains.html
326+
327+Highlights and cross-references
328+-------------------------------
329+
330+The following special patterns are recognized in the kernel-doc comment
331+descriptive text and converted to proper reStructuredText markup and `Sphinx C
332+Domain`_ references.
333+
334+.. attention:: The below are **only** recognized within kernel-doc comments,
335+ **not** within normal reStructuredText documents.
336+
337+``funcname()``
338+ Function reference.
339+
340+``@parameter``
341+ Name of a function parameter. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
342+
343+``%CONST``
344+ Name of a constant. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
345+
346+``$ENVVAR``
347+ Name of an environment variable. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)
348+
349+``&struct name``
350+ Structure reference.
351+
352+``&enum name``
353+ Enum reference.
354+
355+``&typedef name``
356+ Typedef reference.
357+
358+``&struct_name->member`` or ``&struct_name.member``
359+ Structure or union member reference. The cross-reference will be to the struct
360+ or union definition, not the member directly.
361+
362+``&name``
363+ A generic type reference. Prefer using the full reference described above
364+ instead. This is mostly for legacy comments.
365+
366+Cross-referencing from reStructuredText
367+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
368+
369+.. highlight:: none
370+
371+To cross-reference the functions and types defined in the kernel-doc comments
372+from reStructuredText documents, please use the `Sphinx C Domain`_
373+references. For example::
374+
375+ See function :c:func:`foo` and struct/union/enum/typedef :c:type:`bar`.
376+
377+While the type reference works with just the type name, without the
378+struct/union/enum/typedef part in front, you may want to use::
379+
380+ See :c:type:`struct foo <foo>`.
381+ See :c:type:`union bar <bar>`.
382+ See :c:type:`enum baz <baz>`.
383+ See :c:type:`typedef meh <meh>`.
384+
385+This will produce prettier links, and is in line with how kernel-doc does the
386+cross-references.
387+
388+For further details, please refer to the `Sphinx C Domain`_ documentation.
389+
390+Function documentation
391+----------------------
392+
393+.. highlight:: c
394+
395+The general format of a function and function-like macro kernel-doc comment is::
396+
397+ /**
398+ * function_name() - Brief description of function.
399+ * @arg1: Describe the first argument.
400+ * @arg2: Describe the second argument.
401+ * One can provide multiple line descriptions
402+ * for arguments.
403+ *
404+ * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
405+ * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
406+ * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
407+ * comment lines.
408+ *
409+ * The longer description may have multiple paragraphs.
410+ *
411+ * Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
412+ *
413+ * The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
414+ * be placed at the end of the comment block.
415+ */
416+
417+The brief description following the function name may span multiple lines, and
418+ends with an ``@argument:`` description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
419+comment block.
420+
421+The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the function, in
422+order, with the ``@argument:`` descriptions. The ``@argument:`` descriptions
423+must begin on the very next line following the opening brief function
424+description line, with no intervening blank comment lines. The ``@argument:``
425+descriptions may span multiple lines. The continuation lines may contain
426+indentation. If a function parameter is ``...`` (varargs), it should be listed
427+in kernel-doc notation as: ``@...:``.
428+
429+The return value, if any, should be described in a dedicated section at the end
430+of the comment starting with "Return:".
431+
432+Structure, union, and enumeration documentation
433+-----------------------------------------------
434+
435+The general format of a struct, union, and enum kernel-doc comment is::
436+
437+ /**
438+ * struct struct_name - Brief description.
439+ * @member_name: Description of member member_name.
440+ *
441+ * Description of the structure.
442+ */
443+
444+Below, "struct" is used to mean structs, unions and enums, and "member" is used
445+to mean struct and union members as well as enumerations in an enum.
446+
447+The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
448+ends with a ``@member:`` description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
449+comment block.
450+
451+The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure, in
452+order, with the ``@member:`` descriptions. The ``@member:`` descriptions must
453+begin on the very next line following the opening brief function description
454+line, with no intervening blank comment lines. The ``@member:`` descriptions may
455+span multiple lines. The continuation lines may contain indentation.
456+
457+In-line member documentation comments
458+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
459+
460+The structure members may also be documented in-line within the definition::
461+
462+ /**
463+ * struct foo - Brief description.
464+ * @foo: The Foo member.
465+ */
466+ struct foo {
467+ int foo;
468+ /**
469+ * @bar: The Bar member.
470+ */
471+ int bar;
472+ /**
473+ * @baz: The Baz member.
474+ *
475+ * Here, the member description may contain several paragraphs.
476+ */
477+ int baz;
478+ }
479+
480+Private members
481+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
482+
483+Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:" comment
484+tags. Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area are not listed in the
485+generated output documentation. The "private:" and "public:" tags must begin
486+immediately following a ``/*`` comment marker. They may optionally include
487+comments between the ``:`` and the ending ``*/`` marker.
488+
489+Example::
490+
491+ /**
492+ * struct my_struct - short description
493+ * @a: first member
494+ * @b: second member
495+ *
496+ * Longer description
497+ */
498+ struct my_struct {
499+ int a;
500+ int b;
501+ /* private: internal use only */
502+ int c;
503+ };
504+
505+
506+Typedef documentation
507+---------------------
508+
509+The general format of a typedef kernel-doc comment is::
510+
511+ /**
512+ * typedef type_name - Brief description.
513+ *
514+ * Description of the type.

517+Overview documentation comments
518+-------------------------------
519+
520+To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can include
521+kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments instead of being
522+kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions, enums, or typedefs. This could be
523+used for something like a theory of operation for a driver or library code, for
524+example.
525+
526+This is done by using a ``DOC:`` section keyword with a section title.
527+
528+The general format of an overview or high-level documentation comment is::
529+
530+ /**
531+ * DOC: Theory of Operation
532+ *
533+ * The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you
534+ * want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works.
535+ *
536+ * foo bar splat
537+ *
538+ * The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage
539+ * hardware, software, or its subject(s).
540+ */
541+
542+The title following ``DOC:`` acts as a heading within the source file, but also
543+as an identifier for extracting the documentation comment. Thus, the title must
544+be unique within the file.
545+
546+Recommendations
547+---------------
548+
549+We definitely need kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions that are
550+exported to loadable modules using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL`` or ``EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL``.
551+
552+We also look to provide kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions
553+externally visible to other kernel files (not marked "static").
554+
555+We also recommend providing kernel-doc formatted documentation for private (file
556+"static") routines, for consistency of kernel source code layout. But this is
557+lower priority and at the discretion of the MAINTAINER of that kernel source
558+file.
559+
560+Data structures visible in kernel include files should also be documented using
561+kernel-doc formatted comments.
562+
563+DocBook XML [DEPRECATED]
564+========================
565+
566+.. attention::
567+
568+ This section describes the deprecated DocBook XML toolchain. Please do not
569+ create new DocBook XML template files. Please consider converting existing
570+ DocBook XML templates files to Sphinx/reStructuredText.
571+
572+Converting DocBook to Sphinx
573+----------------------------
574+
575+.. highlight:: none
576+
577+Over time, we expect all of the documents under ``Documentation/DocBook`` to be
578+converted to Sphinx and reStructuredText. For most DocBook XML documents, a good
579+enough solution is to use the simple ``Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt`` script,
580+which uses ``pandoc`` under the hood. For example::
581+
582+ $ cd Documentation/sphinx
583+ $ ./tmplcvt ../DocBook/in.tmpl ../out.rst
584+
585+Then edit the resulting rst files to fix any remaining issues, and add the
586+document in the ``toctree`` in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
587+
588+Components of the kernel-doc system
589+-----------------------------------
590+
591+Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the form of
592+block comments above functions. The components of this system are:
593+
594+- ``scripts/kernel-doc``
595+
596+ This is a perl script that hunts for the block comments and can mark them up
597+ directly into reStructuredText, DocBook, man, text, and HTML. (No, not
598+ texinfo.)
599+
600+- ``Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl``
601+
602+ These are XML template files, which are normal XML files with special
603+ place-holders for where the extracted documentation should go.
604+
605+- ``scripts/docproc.c``
606+
607+ This is a program for converting XML template files into XML files. When a
608+ file is referenced it is searched for symbols exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), to be
609+ able to distinguish between internal and external functions.
610+
611+ It invokes kernel-doc, giving it the list of functions that are to be
612+ documented.
613+
614+ Additionally it is used to scan the XML template files to locate all the files
615+ referenced herein. This is used to generate dependency information as used by
616+ make.
617+
618+- ``Makefile``
619+
620+ The targets 'xmldocs', 'psdocs', 'pdfdocs', and 'htmldocs' are used to build
621+ DocBook XML files, PostScript files, PDF files, and html files in
622+ Documentation/DocBook. The older target 'sgmldocs' is equivalent to 'xmldocs'.
623+
624+- ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``
625+
626+ This is where C files are associated with SGML templates.
627+
628+How to use kernel-doc comments in DocBook XML template files
629+------------------------------------------------------------
630+
631+DocBook XML template files (\*.tmpl) are like normal XML files, except that they
632+can contain escape sequences where extracted documentation should be inserted.
633+
634+``!E<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation, in ``<filename>``, for
635+functions that are exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``: the function list is
636+collected from files listed in ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``.
637+
638+``!I<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation for functions that are **not**
639+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
640+
641+``!D<filename>`` is used to name additional files to search for functions
642+exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
643+
644+``!F<filename> <function [functions...]>`` is replaced by the documentation, in
645+``<filename>``, for the functions listed.
646+
647+``!P<filename> <section title>`` is replaced by the contents of the ``DOC:``
648+section titled ``<section title>`` from ``<filename>``. Spaces are allowed in
649+``<section title>``; do not quote the ``<section title>``.
650+
651+``!C<filename>`` is replaced by nothing, but makes the tools check that all DOC:
652+sections and documented functions, symbols, etc. are used. This makes sense to
653+use when you use ``!F`` or ``!P`` only and want to verify that all documentation
654+is included.

760+ 第二十章:条件编译
761+
762+只要可能,就不要在 .c 文件里面使用预处理条件;这样做让代码更难阅读并且逻辑难以
763+跟踪。替代方案是,在头文件定义函数在这些 .c 文件中使用这类的条件表达式,提供空
764+操作的桩版本(译注:桩程序,是指用来替换一部分功能的程序段)在 #else 情况下,
765+再从 .c 文件中无条件地调用这些函数。编译器会避免生成任何桩调用的代码,产生一致
766+的结果,但逻辑将更加清晰。
767+
768+宁可编译整个函数,而不是部分函数或部分表达式。而不是在一个表达式添加 ifdef,
769+解析部分或全部表达式到一个单独的辅助函数,并应用条件到该函数内。
770+
771+如果你有一个在特定配置中可能是未使用的函数或变量,编译器将警告它定义了但未使用,
772+标记这个定义为 __maybe_unused 而不是将它包含在一个预处理条件中。(然而,如果
773+一个函数或变量总是未使用的,就直接删除它。)
774+
775+在代码中,可能的情况下,使用 IS_ENABLED 宏来转化某个 Kconfig 标记为 C 的布尔
776+表达式,并在正常的 C 条件中使用它:
777+
778+ if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SOMETHING)) {
779+ ...
780+ }
781+
782+编译器会无条件地做常数合并,就像使用 #ifdef 那样,包含或排除代码块,所以这不会
783+带来任何运行时开销。然而,这种方法依旧允许 C 编译器查看块内的代码,并检查它的正确
784+性(语法,类型,符号引用,等等)。因此,如果条件不满足,代码块内的引用符号将不存在,
785+你必须继续使用 #ifdef。
786+
787+在任何有意义的 #if 或 #ifdef 块的末尾(超过几行),在 #endif 同一行的后面写下
